This week, we’re discussing something many of us don’t love to talk about: money. Whether your missionary is preparing to leave, has just come home, or is years away from that season, how we think, speak, and feel about money matters—and it affects our kids more than we realize.

I brought in money coach Lynda McDonell to help us take a gentler, clearer look at how we can teach financial responsibility without shame, create independence without enabling, and stop letting money be a source of fear or drama.

We explore:

• Why our own money stories shape our missionaries’ mindset
• How to involve your kids in finances now so they feel more confident later
• What to say (and not say) when they come home needing support
• How to transition into a new role—less fixer, more guide
• The difference between enabling and empowering your adult child

Lynda also shares her unique upbringing—growing up on Canada’s version of Wall Street—and how it shaped her work today, helping women own their value, their work, and their wealth.

Cleaning out your missionary’s room can bring up all kinds of emotions—grief, tenderness, overwhelm, and sometimes even guilt. Whether you’re eager to reclaim the space or clinging to their water bottle like it’s a lifeline (been there!), this episode is here to help.

Organizer coach and life coach Tracy Hoth joins me to discuss the emotional and practical sides of this process. We discuss how to navigate letting go, how to decide what to keep, and how organizing can actually become a gift for your missionary (and for future you).

This conversation is packed with beautiful reframes, including:

• Why feeling emotional is completely normal
• How to start when it all feels too hard
• What to do with mission suits, medals, and everything in between
• Why praying as you clean can bring unexpected peace
• How to leave little love notes for your missionary to find later

If you’ve been avoiding their room because it’s just too much, this episode is for you. You’re not alone. And this can be a sweet, sacred step in your own missionary mom journey.

When something feels off with your missionary, it’s easy to wonder—is this a prompting from the Spirit, or just anxiety in my body? In this episode, we’ll talk about how to tell the difference between a nervous system response and spiritual guidance. You’ll learn how your body signals fear, how the Spirit usually speaks, and what to do when you’re not sure. This episode will help you calm the chaos inside so you can respond with clarity and love.
